💬 OT Selling stuff on Facebook.

Selling things for $10 is fucking dumb, sell it as a lot or throw them away.

Agreed

Agreed, I just wanted to avoid posting them for free. I rescued the boxes and cans from a biz that closed, and they were going to be tossed.

For $10 throw that shit in the trash. Why waste your fucking time posting junk
You need to realize what your time is worth.

I know what my time is worth but sometimes I do otherwise. I donated the items to the Little Village library they are using them for an escape room.

My threshold is $50 and that’s pushing it unless it’s bike related. Those people are pretty solid

I bought a piece of machinery in Pennsylvania and arranged to have it shipped with fr8star. $2880. Then the shipping broker called me and said fr8star charges them $500 just for booking, so next time, just call him and it would be $500 cheaper.

When the truck driver delivered it, we started talking. He was paid $1200 for that load.

How the trucking industry is so fucked that they let middlemen with no assets make all the money, I’ll never know. There is not much brainpower in that industry at all

I posted couple of things there, but so far only scammers contact me.

I think Facebook might be a good choice only if you are going to sell only one or two items. If you plan to sell products and make a business, it is better to create your own website. Of course, you will need to promote it, work on SEO, etc. But if it is your future business, you can hire a company that will do all this job for you. I know that Clickonmedia offers a wide range of services and can assist you from the very beginning. They not only create sites but are good at digital marketing.

I love these requests. Like really???

I actually only accept payments. It costs one payment of the agreed price.

Funny how I only ever get asked that when I'm selling cars under $3000.
